Karitane Village from Puketeraki Lookout.
Driving home from our nearest city yesterday we took a scenic detour. Karitane was the site of a pre-European Maori kaik (undefended village) Close by is the site of Huriawa Pa (a fortified Maori Village). The area was a hunting ground for the long-extinct Moas.
A less nice part of its history was the European whaling station in the 1840's.
These days Karitane is a lovely village and fishing port and popular as a holiday retreat.
I had no camera with me so this is with my ancient iPhone.

No need for a camera when you have such a phone that takes such great photos. This is a beauty.

Lyn, your iPhone camera doesn't know whether it's old or not. Doesn't matter that much.To achieve a good photographic result, the used camera is only marginally dependent. Keen eyes and photographic skills are more essential for a good result. When I see this result, I know for sure you have both of them.
Wonderful and breathtaking capture!

If you think you can't accept something, try to change it. But if this doesn't work, don't be frustrated, but give it later another try. The one who perseveres wins! Please CLICK HERE to see my journal! Feel free to save my images or to add them to your favorites.

After decades of shooting photos using all sorts of cameras, from film to digital, phone to P&S to DSLR, I have found the limiting factor isn*t always the camera. In the hands of a skilled photographer even a pin-hole camera would capture a decent photo, even better a smart phone. You did a fine job, Lyn; the image tells us all it needs to and does so in an aesthetic manner. Kudos.
